National panel discusses Virginia Tech shooting coverage "The worst of times demand the best of reporters," is how one journalism ethics expert puts it. Reporters from the Roanoke Times, NBC-TV, Time magazine and Virginia Tech's Collegiate Press discussed Media Coverage of the Tragedy at Virginia Tech with an audience of journalism educators last week. The 90-minute discussion at the annual convention of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication in Washington, is online courtesy of UMTV, C-SPAN and the AEJMC Reporters.
